“I wish people had to learn how to review before they’re allowed to write one.
I listened to Season 1 a while ago and listened again a year or so ago, then just found the later seasons. The first season was intense and absorbing (I grew up in the Satanic Panic and only found out it was fake a few...”Read full review »

“I managed about four episodes. Jumps all over the place, loads of conjecture and no serious or well researched reporting. If you essentially want to hear a ghost story then you’ll enjoy it but otherwise, avoid.”

“The first historian to give proper credit to the word “vampire” (“dhampir”) being distinctly of Albanian origin. It was my childhood nickname. Would love more of a deep dive on this as Albanians are often robbed of our folkloric history.”

“I really got behind the ending it’s non-fiction hitting fiction head on with a lot to process! To me personally the last so many lines turn create what I would consider to be his magnum opus… Well done! whether agree or disagreed it gets reactions, isn’t that what it’s all about?
That was my...”Read full review »

“What’s with the haters here?
I’m a Brit and it does not bother me that there may be geographic slip ups. I’m pretty sure that I’d do the same if I was referring to an overseas county/town/village.
I love this podcast
Very listenable, great stories, perfect length and a voice that’s very easy on...”Read full review »

“I loved season 1! It was a great build of suspense and accurate fact finding about the “ jersey devil” and some of the local lore was spot on, as well as the “satanic panic” of the time.
I was sad when they made it for subscribers only but I was able to get it on other platforms at that time....”Read full review »

“This is the worst Wondery podcast I’ve listened to. It starts strong describing the crime and the initial evidence and then devolves into speculating about the supposed killer’s mental state and way too much local history and doesn’t get into any hard investigative journalism. I’m left begging to...”Read full review »

“I like this podcast. I find the writer/host to be a good storyteller and I love a longform deep dive. But why with this season am I hearing ads when the whole reason I’m a supporter is to get rid of them?”

Yet the call to action with the breaks is to support a nation led by those who do the...”Read full review »

“This podcast would be soooooo much better if the host weren’t so blatantly Christian. How about we keep it unbiased, or advertise as such? If I wanted that kind of commentary on everything, I would’ve stayed in church.😑
Also maybe he educate him before he makes comments about other religions he...”Read full review »

“Most of these episodes are just the host telling his version of what he thinks happened based very loosely on some unknown sources or evidence.
It’s a good campfire tale, but that’s as far as it goes.”

“It’s a good story. But it’s hard for me to be asked to ‘put myself in Michael’s shoes’ when his violence began towards a woman who sexually rejected him. The beginning of so many stories that ends with a of murdered woman. He’s a misogynist. He didn’t try to kill those dudes who were behaving...”Read full review »

“As someone who grew up in the evangelical community I can relate to this haphazard diagnosis. There are many good evangelicals but also a handful of egocentric “healers” who are not at all schooled in the correct way to do anything as intense as an exorcism. I’m not catholic but exorcisms belong...”Read full review »
